Menadione increases hepatic tight - junctional permeability
Infusion of menadione at two different doses [2.7 mg and 5.5 mg in 100 ,dl of dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO)] into perfused rat livers for 30 min caused no or a 6-fold increase respectively in junctional permeability to horseradish peroxidase as compared with controls receiving 100 ul of DMSO alone. The total glutathione (GSH) contents in these livers measured at the end of the experiments were 115...
متن کاملCalcium-dependent shortening of fibroblasts induced by the ionophore, A23187.
Attached, spread, chick heart fibroblasts were induced to shorten by treatment with the ionophore, A23187. The shortening resulted from the retraction of the leading lamellae and other major cell processes. The response was dependent on external calcium with a threshold close to, and a maximal effect at, physiological concentrations. The shortening was also induced in Colcemid-treated cells and...
متن کاملParthenogenetic Activation of Porcine Oocytes by Calcium Ionophore A23187
This study was designated to clarify the influence of activation of porcine matured oocytes by calcium ionophore on in vitro development of the parthenotes. The follicular oocytes were matured, activated and cultured in North Carolina State University-23 (NCSU-23) medium supplemented with 10% porcine follicular fluid (pFF). The in vitro-matured oocytes were exposed to calcium ionophore at conce...
متن کاملCalcium dependence of ionophore A23187-induced lymphocyte cytotoxicity.
Concentrations of the divalent cation ionophore, A23187, optimal for the transformation of human and pig lymphocytes, were cytotoxic to lymphocytes from rats and mice. The biochemical effects associated with A23187-induced cytolysis in rat thymocytes included inhibition of [3H]uridine uptake and incorporation into macromolecules and stimulation of [14C]-alpha-aminoisobutyric acid uptake. The bi...
متن کاملCation transport and specificity of ionomycin. Comparison with ionophore A23187 in rat liver mitochondria.
Based on the effects of ionomycin upon mitochondrial respiration, ionomycin was shown to be an effective ionophore for Ca2+ in rat liver mitochondria. The ionomycin-induced efflux of Ca2+ across the inner membrane was more sensitive to loading the mitochondria with Ca2+ than was efflux catalyzed by A23187. At saturating concentrations of Ca2+, the turnover number for ionomycin was 3- to 5-fold ...
